However, since there has been a seizure and an abnormal EEG, the risk for another seizure is a bit higher than if the EEG had been normal. You'll want to monitor your daughter carefully with it in the back of your mind. She may very well never have another seizure in her life! But she may have one, and you'll want to be prepared mentally for this.
Your husband just absolutely positively never touch alcohol again. In the United States most practicioners don't provide anti-seizure medications until the third seizure. You have a life-threatening situation. These episodes mandate revocation of a drivers license is every state in the U.S. until at least a year has gone by without seizures. An accident with a car and a history of seizures is a felony, notwithstanding the danger to others.

You experienced an epileptic seizure. The seizure defines the condition. You have epilepsy.
The epilepsy, in your case, may resolve after a year and you may regain your driving priviliges, so don't give up hope. You will need written approval from a physician.
The question is whether or not the long-term use of alcohol has permanently damaged your brain in such a way as to make it prone to seizures. Maybe yes and maybe no. Let's be optimistic.
One night after we had played video games for a good amount of time, Alan went to shower and then came to bed. He was lying down and had a seizure. Then another one. He had a total of maybe 5 seizures and they were about 15 seconds long and a couple of minutes apart. Afterwards he was fine. He told me that he usually has a headache before a seizure and that he didn't this time. He also told me that he had taken an alka seltzer close to when he had taken his medication.
HI,
An epileptic cannot have both a complex partial seizure disorder and a generalized seizure disroder. People with a generalized seizure disorder are usually born with it, while people with partial or complex partial get it sometime during thier life. Generlaized seizures occurr over the entire brain, while complex partial only occurr in a section of the brain.
I have complex partial seizures that occurr in my right temporal lobe. They started from a head injury I got when I was three.
I find their diagnosis interesting as most seizures of the gelastic type are tied to small tumors near the hypothalamus. My hope for you and your son is that the actual type of seizure he suffers from is in the category that goes away as they approach puberty.
Has anyone had a problem with a seizure medicine causing irreversible weight gain? My daughter was a thin child, who took Tegretol for seizures, and gained a large amount of weight in a short time. We stopped the medication, but the weight did not reduce.
My big fear is epilepsy Oxy use to make me shake and bite my tongue but since i been on 200mg Lamictal it has stopped I read Flexeril may cause seizure but then I also read the opposite.
Even if I am not epileptic I like to play it safe as my Doc is out, and the pharmacy worker never seems to know anything.
So does Flexeril increase seizure risk or is that just for (diagnosed) epileptics?
I don't want to add it to the oxy and have a attack.
Maybe, it hasn't "happened before"... to her knowledge. Some epileptics have petit mal seizures, where they "zone out" and experience brief spells of unconsciousness and have no memory of what occurred during the seizure. Might this be the case with her?
It is pretty much impossible to treat numbness from MS. The meds for paresthesias do not work. In a positive paresthesia, the nerve functions, it just does it badly or too much. You could say it spazzes, and the most effective meds for symptomatic and disturbing paresthesias are usually in the category of "atypical anti-epileptics." This are meds like carbamazepine, gabapentin, and Lyrica.
From my research 90% of these present with seizure activity and many are resistant to anti-epileptics. He wants me to start another anti-epileptic and mentions differential diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy even tho i have had normal EMG/NCS or migraine even tho I don't get headaches.
I'm still waiting for my second opinion, once I get one I feel like letting the first neuro know what I think of him! That is presuming the second neuro as any good.
Infections and fever can make an otherwise healthy individual more prone to have a seizure. a single episode of seizure cannot be marked as epilepsy. An EEG to ensure that there are no structural abnormalities in brain. Normal EEG and MRI brain are encouraging though this does not rule out a future episode. You need to consult a physician for investigating any underlying infectious condition, high or low blood sugar, injury, electrolyte imbalance, drug withdrawal syndrome etc.
Her seizures are under control now, partically by medicine, but I have found that all her seizure like activity is brought on by stress (fear) or excitement and I can remove her from that cause andn talk her right through them. She will recover within less than 2 minutes and within 5 minutes you would never knew it even happend, she has no lasting effects or memory loss, she may be a bit weak and shakey for a bit but no other effects.
Month ago I had a seizure while sleeping where I lost control on urination and i ignored it (I didn't even understand that this could be a seizure or what is a seizure!) , till now I had 3 seizures while sleeping but without urination problem and I got simple seizures while I am awake ( sometimes I just loss concentration and i just focus at nothing ) the Dr.
It still sounds like some type of seizure disorder to me. Look at the evidence. Sometimes every neurologist disagree with each others diagnoses. This in tern is not good for you and your situation. I am a 54 yr old male and I was diagnosed by a common doctor of having Generalized Anxiety Disorder way back in 1975 so, they put me on Anxiety medications but, the seizures still came along just the same.
Can you describe some more details regarding the seizure activity to know better? Sleep deprivation can be one of the triggers for seizure activity. It need not always happen at night. You may consult a neurologist for complete check up and investigations including a sleep study. Take care and share your thoughts.
Forget the fancy name, and don't lie awake thinking you have a brain tumor, for gosh sakes! You may also be experiencing an olfactory seizure; whatshisname's right about seeing a neurologist - if you can find a decent one. If you've had seizures in the past or they are just starting, epileptics are hardly ever burned at the stake anymore.
On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 -- I had my first full seizure – after weeks and weeks of emails to MedHelp and no advice – after a kind of environmental hell for a month!!! I was on Tegretol that day and so basically I conclude it doesn't work for me!!!
See Mary’s post on “pulsating hyperacusis.” And mine!
This seizure was brought on by allergies, low blood sugar, and being ignored for hours in the ER…and the effete and rough handling by the local EMS people!
It sounds like a possible seizure. They can manifest in many different ways and it's not uncommon to see that head tilting behavior. It's also typical to that they need to sleep quite a while after having a seizure.
Since he's had two episodes that you know of, it's definitely time to see your vet. Try not to panic. I know seeing a seizure of any kind is extremely scary, but epilepsy in dogs can usually be well-managed with medications.
